Communities across the country are incorporating water reuse into their water management strategies as a proven method for ensuring a safe, reliable, locally controlled water supply—essential for livable communities with healthy environments, robust economies and a high quality of life.

Water reuse projects – including those supported by the Bureau of Reclamation’s Title XVI Program, the EPA’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund, and other federal programs – have a proven track record of success. As we continue the conversation about our nation’s infrastructure needs, it is critical that we keep water reuse in the picture as an efficient and effective way to meet economic, public health, and environmental goals concurrently.

This Congressional briefing will highlight how utilities across the country are using water recycling in a variety of ways to produce a multitude of benefits for their residents.

 The panelists will include Paul Jones, General Manager, Eastern Municipal Water District, CA (Moderator); Alan Weland, VP/General Manager, SUEZ Water Long Island; Gilbert Trejo, Chief Technical Officer, El Paso Water; and Martha Tremblay, Technical Services Department Head, LA County Sanitation Districts.
